FREE Hot Chocolate Bar Printable

FREE Hot Chocolate Bar Printable

Do you have a favorite holiday song? Mine is Baby it’s Cold Outside, and the Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting version is my fave!

I recently created a “Baby it’s cold outside” chalkboard printable for the hot chocolate bar station I put together for a holiday party over the weekend, and I love how it turned out… aside from realizing afterwards that I spelled “marshmallows” wrong on my little labels, haha.

5 x 7 FREE Hot Chocolate Bar Printable

I recently came across a “Baby It’s Cold Outside” chalkboard printable via Pen & Paper Flower Studios & Designs, and especially like how she added the text for the hot cocoa bar. Since we were having a “hot chocolate bar” I decided to make my own version 🙂

I simply put the file on a flash drive and took it to Staples to have it printed out, which cost less than $2! I then taped it to the outside of a frame and set it on an easel next to all of my hot chocolate fixings.

As for the “fixings” I poured some hot chocolate and caramel sauce into prettier jars I had purchased for a $1 each at JoAnn’s, added hot chocolate to a mason jar, and created my own peppermint stir sticks that I placed inside a mason jar. I also crushed up some candy canes for crushed peppermint and added some white chocolate chips, marshmallows into mason jars as well. Another item I added later to the table was some cinnamon (not pictured).

I then created some simple labels and tied them around the jars with some red and white bakers twine. The labels were printing from my own printer and you may notice it was running low on ink, haha.

I am a huge fan of hot chocolate during the holidays and really love the idea of a hot chocolate bar station for winter parties or wedding receptions.

It’s cold outside here in Georgia, but unfortunately it’s not cold enough for snow. We will be visiting family for for the holidays so hopefully it will turn out to be a white Christmas after all 🙂
I’m so glad you like the printable and thank you so much for stopping by!
Happy Holidays!

Hi Paula, I actually made the printable look like a chalkboard, so I had the design printed at Staples for a couple bucks and then placed it into a frame. So it looks like a chalkboard, but is actually just printed on paper. Hope this helps 🙂

I believe I used hot chocolate, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, marshmallows, some dipped and sprinkled candy canes, crushed peppermint and caramel and chocolate sauce 🙂 Can’t wait to make it again this year!

This is so cute! Love the idea too. Love, love the first font! Would you mind telling me what it is? I’m doing a photo book for my kids and would love to put that one in them. I’m kind of a font hoarder as well. 🙂

I don’t know what size I used for the sign in the main photos, because it was a thrifted frame that I had painted last year and then gave to the venue I had my wedding at. The easel was purchased at Hobby Lobby and I then used the tea/vinegar stain to make it look old and weathered. Hope that helps 🙂

I’m sorry, I’m not tech saavy. I was hoping to print the hot cocoa bar sign as a poster since the frame I’m putting it in is 12×18. I guess I can’t upload it to walmart.com since it’s not in jpg format. Does anyone know if it can be changed? and how to do it.

Hi Heidi, It won’t open in photo editing programs because changes can’t be made to it, but you can open the PDF with Adobe Reader and other PDF reader software. However, I did go ahead and update the printables to be JPGs to make it easier. So now you can just click on the photo of the printable you want to be taken to the high res image 🙂

After reading through the comments and seeing others asking about the font, I purchased Ondise for my winter wedding food labels. I was thinking of using the blank chalkboard printables provided but the first/last letter of each word do not curl/curve like yours do. Did you do something to make it do that? It doesn’t look the same as the other labels for the hot cocoa bar and I wanted everything on the table to look the same. Please let me know so I can make accurate adjustments. Thanks!

It’s an Opentype font that includes a swash feature, but you will have to see if and how you can use it with the program you have. I use illustrator but the creator of the font has a tutorial on how you can use it with Word:

Love the chalkboard printable! Do you by chance have a plain white version with black outlined lettering and snowflakes? (The reversed-color image that could be printed on regular white paper.) I’m wanting to use this but use my transfer charcoal paper to apply it to a canvas and paint it. Thank you!

I wanted to enlarge hot choc sign to 24×36 so I took to Staples, Office Depot, Postnet, UPS store, and a local printer and they all said enlarging info is poor print quality. So I fixed that then they ALL said $40 to enlarge as they count all the black color as a “color” order. So it is all well and good that you had it printed cheaply but everywhere I called was pricey every place I called. ☹

The 8 x 10 would lose quality if you are trying to blow it up to being 24 x 36. I plan to offer larger sizes in my shop soon but don’t have that set up yet. I got this printed at Staples last year and it was less than $5, what you need is called an “engineering print”. Those are MUCH cheaper in both black and white and color than standard prints. Staples seems to offer the best pricing on engineering prints that I have found so far and if you search “engineering print” on my blog you can find several projects I’ve created with them.

Here is the link to the section on Staples website, and you can see that a 24 x 36 b/w print is less than $4. Hope that helps.
